Method for separating blanks from plastic sheets
Abstract
Abstract MIRRORS OF USE BY DENTISTS OF FOR SIMILAR PURPOSES ARE PRODUCED BY CLAMPING A BLANK OR STRONGLY LIGET-REFLECTING SYNTHETIC THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL BETWEEN ANNULAR MALE AND FEMALE MIRROR FRAME PORTIONS. SUCH CLAMPING STEP IS CARRIED OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH SEPARATION OF THE BLANK FROM A WEB OF SHEET MATERIAL WHICH IS WREAKENED IN THE TENED AND STRETCHED CONDITION AND IS WEAKENED IN THE ZONE AROUND THE BLANK BY A WELDING ELECTRODE WHICH SOFTENS THE MATERIAL OF THE WEB AND PENETRATES INTO THE THUS SOFTENED MATERIAL BY BEING BIASED TOWARD A SUPPORTING SURFACE LOCATED OPPOSITE THE ELECTRODE. THE MALE MIRROR FRAME PORTION SERVES AS A MEANS FOR TEARING THE BLANK FROM THE WEAKENED ZONE AND FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY MOVING THE MARGINAL PORTION OF THE THUS SEPARATED BLANK AGAINST THE INTERNAL SURFACE OF THE FEMALE MIRROR FRAME PORTION.
